Yes it is easy to avoid. It's called not going into such threads in the first place. If there's an article about BioWare, you don't click the comments link. This is VERY SIMPLE. It is not hard. If you can't stop yourself from clicking a link to a page you know will be full of spoilers, you have bigger problems than having a game spoiled for you.Starke said:Now you've got me wanting Cesar salad.

To be fair, right now everywhere is throwing a snitfit about the last 15 minutes. It's impossible to go into a thread about Bioware or an article (which accounts for about 20% of this site's news content) without coming across someone going ballistic over the endings in excruciating medical detail.
To be fair, I've had very little respect for the game's ending being a spoiler because it freakin' spoils the game itself by taking a dump on the entire franchise, but, it's not like it's easy to avoid spoilers right now.
Except a vast majority of people including myself don't care if our Shepard "has an orgy and become king of the cosmos" it's the fact that the ending has thematic tonal shift that doesn't fit with the other two games, hell it doesn't even fit with 3. It hardly explained anything, felt rushed and distorted, and also for some players ignores and contradicts the choices they made over three games. My Shepard could die at the end of ME 3 for all I care because I know that my Shep would give it their all, it's the fact that everything you did only boiled down to a different colored ending with a super AI god that seemed to ignore the fact that the Geth and the Quarians were working together to knock their giant space door down. As while all this is going on Shepard says one sentence and a maybe.Tanis said:
I'm not going to start an argument about this here, but your post is annoying to me. If you'd like to discuss it, PM me.Tanis said:
Come on, at least put a spoiler tag on it in a thread about people spoiling the ending.gundamrx101 said:
Yeah, that works up to the point where people are commenting on the facebook response page, so spoilers are at least potentially there as well, and that's (on some screen setups) going to be visible on the article itself.mjc0961 said:Yeah, this is going to work. Or maybe you could just try hitting the report button on posts that spoil and let the mods tell people to use the tags. They're more likely to listen to mods than they are to find and listen to your whiny thread here.
Alternatively, STAY OFF FORUMS. Yes, it sucks that people are inconsiderate and don't mark their spoilers, but the only two realistic ways you have to combat it are to report anyone who spoils anything, or not put yourself in a position to read spoilers in the first place. HINT: Second option works better.

Honestly, this is just the flavor of the month. Wait another 12 days and it'll be gone.ryanxm said:
I'd start to go on about how you're making a straw man argument, and how most people don't care that it was an unhappy ending, just that it was a stupid ending. But, honestly, I think you should know, it's not "in mass", it's "en mass".Tanis said:
Yeah, but at least those are fun to read and reply to. These ME threads are all "I hate the mass effect ending". It's just really annoying to see everyone complain so much about it. They chose to end it like that, shut up; and lot of them just don't have much discussion value, in my opinion. I'd really prefer to getting back to the zombie apocalypse, and the terrible things the utterly ignorant politics want to pin on video games in a pathetic effort to demonize something, and make them seem like some sort of holy crusader, it'd be great.Starke said:Honestly, this is just the flavor of the month.

Still, "thoughtful threads"? Half the time I stagger in here the top thread is someone bitching out the friends zone. Or asking what the last enemy you killed was, and how well you'd face with them in a zombie apocalypse.
